No sort seemed like it, SORT of.

my bad lol looked like one. Looked like a facelift legacy, no?

Oh nevermind I saw it's got the recessed license plate. Other than that though it looked a lot like a legacy.

Poor car, whatever it was.

Yeah, that one got me too, I thought it was a BC until I saw another vid of the jump from a different angle...it's longer, and shows the driver climbing out, and the door windows have frames. I believe it's a Mitsubishi Galant VR-4.

That drop's called The Mineshaft, in Canberra, Australia... it's featured in the video games that have that course. (Dirt!)

mmmmmmaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzddddddddaaaaa?

Maybe I'll play some dirt tonight. Haven't played that much and I've have it for a year now lol.

Nnnnnnooooooppppppe... Several sources on youtube list the make. Look up "Mineshaft Canberra"

Here's some closer footage;

Mineshaft Crash

Here's another one that might be a Mazda, tho... looks like an RX-3, sorta. Anyone know what a 180 B is? I found a reference to it in another mineshaft video;

Mineshaft Rollover

Freeze it at 0:24, and read the name of the sponsor on the hood Homegrown FTW!

+1 for racing games on a friday nite. I was playing GT4 last nite on the projector to try and cope with Auto-X season being over.

Somehow I got sidetracked and wound up playing the demos for mirror's edge and motorstorm pacific rift and then played fallout 3.

Before that I played team fortress 2 and left 4 dead demo. Damn I played a lot of video games tonight. Time for bed!

Come on, that is a Subaru Leone, you should know this you guys!!!!!!

It was released from 1988-1990 in that body style.
It had a 1.8L Turbo SOHC Engine in the top model, just a quick and dirty detail, here are some pics.

Here is a rear view of the car that had you all so confused.

Good luck next time guys.

Umm, no... it's most definitely not a Leone.

The car doesn't look anything like a Leone.

Also... a Leone couldn't go fast enough to make that big of a jump in the first place.

It's a Mitsu Galant VR4, as already noted. 100% positive.

...and here's one side-by-side with my car when Matt had them;

For the record the car that made me come to the conclusion that it was a Leone, was that it was the only 1 that i found that attended the 80's Safari Rally, and for that year car the specs listed below are nothing to scoff at, but i have admit that i thought it was an older race, not just a couple years ago, sorry.

Leone (3rd Generation) RX Rally Specs (Sedan & Coupe):

As you can see from the power numbers and the fact that it weighs in at less then 2500 pounds, getting that much air wouldn't be a problem, but i will admit that i am probably wrong, i just never found anywhere that the galant vr4 was involved in the Safri Rally, my apologies.
